Did you ever play that game with the Sweet 'n Low packets at a restaurant? It was one of my favorites while in high school and college. Anytime a group of us went out to eat we'd evenly split the packets and take turns asking questions.
"I have gone skydiving. Have you?"
For everyone that had, they threw a sugar packet into the center. The first person out of packets won the game.
Why am I telling you this?
Ummmm.....
Oh yes!

So you're not registered to vote? Really? And you don't want to go to Italy? You didn't ask for volunteers to take you to Venice for a gondola ride or to the Leaning Tower of Pisa (I'm on an Italy kick right now...). The cruise-thing sounds like fun - maybe you could organize a blog friends cruise! :-)
Thank you for not tagging me! Now I'm curious how adoption tore your family apart. That's sad.
Here, I was going to take you to Africa...but I guess that's out!
OK, you'll have to read my blog to find out the answers! I love these, but don't know if I know 3 bloggers!!!
